I have a chapter in my next book called 'Where is our Churchill?' Looks like the Americans, at least, have found their man.'

Goldarnit, this just ain't right. You there, me here? Unacceptable, sir!

Sounds like a plan!

Eamon, hi. In Searching for Franklin, I present the definitive rendering of the Coppermine expedition, drawing on the journals of Back, Hood, and Richardson, as well the Champlain Society Franklin and secondary sources. I treat the second in my book Dead Reckoning.

Wow! Host David McGuffin zeroed right in on a key point about legacy . . . no Franklin disaster, no search, no Canada.

Leanne Caron for the win!

It also served to land me a job in Tanzania, after the original French teacher at the International School suddenly bailed back to France . . . leaving an opening hard to fill in Dar es Salaam.

7 jobs?
1. Gazette delivery (Ste. Marthe)
2. Tobacco primer (Tillsonberg)
3. Pot-washer (Banff Springs)
4. Forest fire lookout (Mount Sarbach)
5. Vocational counsellor / female div. (Montreal)
6. Bicycle Messenger (San Francisco)
7. Greenchain man (Nelson)

Well, hey, this is way cool! Searching for Franklin has made the 10-book longlist for the 2024 J.W. Dafoe Book Prize.

Rae Strait, 1999. Heading back in September to celebrate 25th anniversary. Also 10th of discovery of Erebus, 170th of Rae building a cairn, and 25th of the creation of Nunavut. Oh yeah! drifttravel.com/adventure-trav…

You, sir, are on what appears to be a roll.

I think we should summon Robbe-Grillet and request that he clarify the difference between 'autofiction' and his approach to autobiographical fiction.

Whoa, David Grann, thanks for that! Made my day!

McCarthy? Best word-portrait we'll ever get is in Oath and Honor by Liz Cheney. You want a man without principle? A man who will do or say anything if he thinks it will advance his personal agenda.
